• “PlayMemories Home” is not compatible with Mac computers. When you play back images on Mac
computers, use the appropriate application software supplied with the Mac computer.
• Movies recorded with the [60i 24M(FX)/50i 24M(FX)]/[24p 24M(FX)/25p 24M(FX)] setting in [Record
Setting] are converted by “PlayMemories Home” in order to create an AVCHD recording disc. This
conversion can take a long time. Also, you cannot create a disc in the original image quality. If you want
to keep the original image quality, you must store your movies on a Blu-ray Disc.
With “Image Data Converter,” you can do the following:
• You can play back and edit images recorded in RAW format with various corrections,
such as tone curve and sharpness.
• You can adjust images with white balance, exposure, and [Creative Style], etc.
• You can save the images displayed and edited on a computer.
You can either save the image as RAW format or save it in the general file format.
• You can display and compare the RAW images and JPEG images recorded by this
camera.
• You can rank images in 5 grades.
• You can apply color labels.
